Plane Mirrors Ray Diagrams

As a result the image formed by the mirror is sharp and undistorted.
Plane mirrors ray diagrams. A ray of light falling on a plane mirror is reflected at the same angle as the angle of incidence. A ray diagram shows the path of light from an object to mirror to an eye. Draw the image of the object. Drawing ray diagrams a step by step approach 1.

This is a short tutorial on how to draw ray diagrams for plane mirrors. Each ray intersects at the image location and then diverges to the eye of an observer.
Similarly ray diagrams are useful tools for determining and explaining what objects might be viewed when sighting into a mirror from a given location. Incident rays at least two are drawn along with their corresponding reflected rays. For example suppose that six students abe bev cis don eva and flo sit in front of a plane mirror and attempt to see each other in the mirror. Initially we have an object in front of a plane mirror.
Pick one extreme on the image of the object and draw the reflected ray that will travel to the eye as it sights at this point.
